SSDs are still too expensive for high volume storage.

Enterprise purchases will be much lower, but as a consumer you can buy a 12TB helium-sealed HDD for $100-$200, while solid state alternatives don’t even reach that capacity in a single unit and cost 5-10x more.



Thanks for the explanation, I didn’t realise that was the case.
